DesignBuilder v7 sees a major upgrade of our daylighting tools. Highlights include: • Annual Climate Based Daylight Modelling simulations are now run directly in Radiance, fully implementing the method specified in LM-83-12 and including dynamic blinds for sDA 300/50 calculations. • Report for the BREEAM HEA 01 Option b annual daylighting credits. • Translucent Component blocks can now be simulated in daylighting simulations, making it easier to accurately include objects such as trees in your model. • Daylight distribution maps are now displayed in the 3D modeller with optional numeric label display in each cell and editable colour palettes. The new display makes the context of the daylighting results clearer and your reports more impactful.  | |
